Abstract

This paper aims to present how Danesh, a toddler who moved from Indonesia to Denmark at the age of one and a half years, learned rote counting in three different languages: Indonesian, English, and Danish. Her mathematical learning journey was observed from the first time she moved to Denmark until she was in a kindergarten. The findings show some factors that influence her multilingual counting abilities: watching nursery songs on YouTube, number board games and interaction with her parents, especially her mothers
